Enter Store Name and URL

Enter your store name and URL into the two provided fields.

The store name does not need to match your Etsy store exactly, this is just for you to see which store orders have been attributed to on the Order page.

To make the store URL, you will need to know your Etsy username. The store URL will be your username.etsy.com

For example if your username is "mystore", then the Etsy Shop URL would be:

mystore.etsy.com

3. Start Planning Ahead

Now that you have successfully connecter your Etsy Shop and CM Offer account, it is time to start planning the next steps. It would suffice to say that we have opened a fair number of ecommerce stores ourselves. The following are the next steps our team would follow when opening an ecommerce store with a new vendor. If you have been following along our getting started tutorial series, you will notice that now most of the list is complete and it is almost time to launch!

 

Import a Product

Add a product from our catalogue to your store. We offer basic photos that you can use for the initial listing, but we do recommend that you take additional lifestyle photos when your physical sample arrives. Product photos that take place in real environments are much more likely to convert compared to photos on blank backgrounds.

Estimated Time: 1 hour per product

Launch!

After you have chosen your products and added them to your storefront, it is time to open for business! Do one last double check of the details in your store and publish your listings to the general public.

Estimated Time: 2-3 hours
